Hey folks, I currently have a 12" Rockford-Fosgate XLC (RFP2412) subwoofer that I purchased in 1998. The sub has served me well since then w/o any sort of hiccups. I would like to know ppl's opinions on the expected life of these/any subs in general. My ears have listened to them for so long...

Hey folks, I will doing a full detail job on a family member's red Ford Focus. Unfortunately, the car's paint is in pretty bad condition. Although there are very minimal dents and deep gouges, the car has light-to-medium scratches throughout the entire body. I can also feel some grit on...

Hi folks, I just wanted to know how you guys/gals store and organize your pads. I might be a little too "crazy" for doing this, but I have one pad for each of my car paint treatments (about 15 pads). Even tho I clean them very thoroughly, I do not want to risk cross contamination...
